For Immediate Release:

Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Sue Halpern

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Thursday, November 6th Sue Halpern will be reading from The Book of Hard Things, a provocative first novel that explores the porous borders between friendship, sex and love by a writer who, according to the Los Angles Times, is “uncommonly gifted and compassionate …expansive, original, exploratory.”

At eighteen, Cuzzy Gage has never been out of Poverty, the isolated mountain hamlet where he was born, raised, and--much to the annoyance of his dreamy girlfriend, the mother of his child--seems destined to stay. Then he meets Tracy Edwards, and as Tracy introduces Cuzzy to poetry and literature and music, he in turn is exposed to the natural world, to a place of granite and schist and other, enduring, hard things. But in a small town their unlikely friendship is inevitably the focus of scrutiny and debate, a debate that ends as no one could have imagined, and makes each of them, in their own way, confront the hardest thing of all.

EVENT: SUE HALPERN,
reads from her novel The Book of Hard Things
DATE: Thursday, November 6th
TIME: 6 p.m.
VENUE: Harvard Book Store
